When my new fan came I put it on yesterday along with a new water pump.


Today when I went to refill the radiator the water was running out onto the floor as I poured it in. Upon closer inspection I found where the broken blade had grazed the radiator just enough to break one of the tubes. Aapparently something was plugging the hole enough to keep it from leaking but was dislodged when I drained the radiator.


Looks like the radiator will have to come out and go to a repair shop if I can find one.

Old farmers fix. Put in ground black pepper.
